Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach recently sat down with ArtistDirect for a thoroughly insightful interview. Jesse discusses Lamb Of God, themes within 'Disarm The Descent', reggae & the bands evocative & moving video 'Always'. Jesse had this to say about the 'Always' video;

"I knew I didn't want it to be a Guy-Meets-Girl "I love you always" video. So I got involved immediately. I said, "This is what I don't want. Here are some ideas I have. Here's what the song is essentially about". That's mourning the loss of a loved one and the memories-the joy and the pain. I figured the best way to show that without having mourning in a cemetery was by drawing from songs like Pantera's "Hollow" and "Cemetery Gates" or "Nothing Else Matters" from Metallica. They're heavy bands but they're tackling softer, yet powerful subjects in a way that's not sappy. In this case, the route was to show a different kind of love, namely brotherly love. That was Mike and Ian's idea. Then, you're dealing with a disease or death. It's unspoken in the video, but we're essentially talking about cancer. Everybody's been affected by that. It's one of the number one killers. I wanted to make sure people were impacted by it. It made people stop and think. They didn't just go, "Yeah, I've seen this before". It's a love song, but what kind of love song is it? That's the question I wanted to pose to people with the video. If you assume it's this kind of love song, you may or may not be right. I hate to tell people what the songs are about, but it was important to show another side of love that people don't usually draw from in music videos."
